Food stylist Caitlin Levin and photographer Henry Hargreaves collaborated on a series of food-based country maps composed of signature national ingredients.“Exploring new places through the food you eat is often a portal to the cultural complexities of that place,” Hargreaves said. The maps were painstakingly created with real food. They show how food has traveled the globe becoming a part of the cultural identity of the countries.To see more of these maps and how they made them, go to tinyurl.com/WorldFoodMaps.
